2. Capacity
8" & 10" Commercial Vertical Bin Unloading Auger - PNEG 1057
A. The capacities may vary greatly under varying conditions. The following factors play a role
in the performance of the auger:
• Speed • Amounts of foreign matter
• Angle of operation • Different materials
• Moisture content • Methods of feeding
B. For example, a twenty-five percent (25%) moisture could cut capacity by as much as
40% under some conditions.

PNEG 1057 - 8" & 10" Commercial Vertical Bin Unloading Auger
1. Start-up and Break-In
ALWAYS keep ALL guards and shields in place, until all the power is disconnected and locked out.
A. Make sure all belts are tensioned properly. B. Make sure ALL shields are in place and that the belt(s) and pulley(s) are able to move freely. C. Double check the assembly instructions to see that all parts have been assembled properly . D. During operation of equipment, one person should be in a position to monitor the entire operation.
During the initial start-up and break-in period, the operator should note any unusual vibrations or noises and take the appropriate action.
Make certain everyone is clear before operating or moving the machine.
Start-up
E. The bin well inside the bin should have a control gate. The gate should be closed before start-up and closed
before shutdown to allow the machine to clean out.
F. The controls for the control gate should either pull or push open, depending on the type of well you have. Use the
control gate to regulate a flow of less than full capacity until several hundred bushels of grain have been augered to polish the flighting assembly and tube.
G. Any new screw conveyor or one that has set idle for a season should go through a “break-in” period. This
“break-in” consists of running the auger at half capacity until the screw becomes polished and smooth before attempting to run at full capacity . It is recommended that several hundred bushels of grain be augered at partial capacity.
Failure of your auger is very likely to occur if it is run at full capacity before the
screw has become polished.
NEVER operate augers empty for any length of time as excessive wear will result.
H. Do not stop or start augers under load, especially before the flight and tube become well polished, as this may
cause the auger to “lockup”. Make sure to use the control gate as a flow control so the vertical auger cannot become plugged.
Excessive wear will result if auger is run at speeds in excess of what is recommended.

Flight Length
G. The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain (above 15%) will
require greater power if maximum capacity is to be maintained. The maximum possible capacity will be less
with high moisture grain than with dry grain. Use an electric motor of the correct size that operates at
1750 R. P. M.
16
Electrical controls and wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician. The motor disconnect switches and conductor cables should comply with the National Electrical Code and any local codes which apply. Motor starting control stations should be so located that the operator can see that all personnel are clear of the equipment.

Operation & Maintenance
8" & 10" Commercial Vertical Bin Unloading Auger - PNEG 1057
3. Power Source
A. Use electric motors that operate at 1750 R.P .M. B. Electric motors and controls should be installed by a qualified electrician and must meet the standards set by
the National Electrical Code and all local and state codes.
C. A magnetic starter should be used to protect your motor when starting and stopping. It should stop the motor in
case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption, or motor overload. Then the motor must be restarted manually . Some motors have built-in thermal overload protection. If this type motor is used, use only those with a manual reset.
You should use a Main Power Disconnect Switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position. This should be locked whenever work is being done on the auger.
Disconnect power before resetting motor overloads.
Make sure all electrical motors are grounded.
Reset and motor starting and stopping controls must be located so that the operator has full view of the entire operation.
Shut off power to adjust , service, or clean the machinery.
Keep all safety guards and shields in place.
4. Maintenance
A. The flange bearings on the head and tail ends of all units should be lubricated on frequent intervals.
18
Never clean, adjust, or lubricate a machine that is in operation.
PNEG 1057 - 8" & 10" Commercial Vertical Bin Unloading Auger
1. Normal Shutdown
A. Make certain that bin well and unloading tubes are empty before stopping the unit. B. Disconnect and lockout the power source before leaving the work area.
2. Emergency Shutdown
A. Know how to shut down the auger in case of an emergency. B. Disconnect and lockout the power source. C. Close bin well control gates. D. Clear out as much grain from the auger and hopper as you can.
Never restart when under a full load. Starting unit under load may result in damage to the machine. Such damage is considered abuse of the equipment.
Shutdown
E. Reconnect and unlock the power source. F. Gradually clear the auger until there is no grain or obstructions.
3. Lockout
A. Always stop and disconnect the power source whenever the operator must leave the work area or for
maintenance of the machinery .
B. Make sure no one can operate the unload auger while the operator is not in the work area.
Use the type of main power disconnect switch that is capable of being locked only in the off position.
3. Storage Preparation
A. Close all wells to discharge tube. B. Be sure the unload tube is empty. C. Make sure power source is disconnected and locked out. D. Check to see that all fasteners are secure.
19
Troubleshooting
8" & 10" Commercial Vertical Bin Unloading Auger - PNEG 1057
Problem
1. The auger is vibrating.
Possible Cause
A. Damage can occur to the
auger flighting, causing noise. Damage usually is caused from foreign material being run through the auger.
A. Drive belt may be overtightened,
putting head stub and flight in a bind.
2. Capacity is too low. A. There may not be enough grain
reaching the auger.
B. The auger is moving too slowly.
Solution
A1. It may be necessary to remove the
flighting for inspection.
A1. Loosen the drive belts.
A1. Make sure the intake has not
bridged over, restricting flow . The flighting at the intake should be covered with grain for maximum capacity.
B1. Check the auger speed. Low
capacity will result from speeds slower than recommended.
3. The auger plugs.
A. The auger may be "jamming"
because too much grain is reaching the auger.
B. The grain may be wet. B1. If wet grain or other hard-to-move
C. The auger may be jammed
with foreign material.
D. The motor may be to small or
wired incorrectly .
A1. Use the control gates to decrease
the amount of grain the auger is gathering.
material is being augured, use a larger size motor than recom­mended for normal use.
C1. Remove any foreign material in the
auger.
D1. Check wiring or consider using the
next larger size motor .
